THE  CITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 


Historians  are  not  agreed  as  to  whether, 
when  Manhattan  Island  was  bought  from 
the  Indians,  in  1626,  the  price  paid  was  $24 
or  $26.  It  is  agreed,  however,  that  Peter 
Minnet  (or  Minuit,  as  some  insist  on  spell- 
ing the  name  of  the  first  Governor  of  New 
Amsterdam)  paid  all  the  island  was  worth 
at  that  time.  The  first  European  visit  to 
this  locality  was  made  by  Jean  Vorrazini, 
a  Florentine  navigator,  in  1525.  He  was 
frightened  away  by  a  storm,  and  no  effort 
was  made  to  explore  th©  island  until 
Henry  Hudson  explored  the  Hudson  River 
in  his  yacht,  the  Half  Moon,  in  1609.  His 
report  led  to  a  colony  of  Dutch  traders 
coming  here  in  1624  and  making  a  formal 
settlement.  They  called  the  future  metrop- 
olis of  the  United  States  New  Amsterdam, 
believing  it  would  be  a  good  advertisement, 
to  name  it  after  so  Important  a  Dutch  city 
as  Amsterdam.  In  1664  the  English  cap- 
tured the  town  and  to  add  to  its  prestige 
named  it  New  York,  in  honor  of  a  then 
promising  English  city.  The  Dutch  recap- 
tured the  town  in  1673,  but  did  not  hold  it 
long  eonugh  to  make  a  return  to  the  orig- 
inal name  expedient. 

New  York  grew  so  rapidly  that  at  the 
the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  it  had 
'  about  23,000  inhabitants,  and  was  recog- 
nized as  the  chief  city  of  the  new  world. 
The  city  began  preparing  to  render  impor- 
tant assistance  to  the  colonists  in  the  war, 
but  the  British  promptly  took  possession 
and  held  it  till  1783,  when  the  war  having 
closed,  the  city  was  evacuated  amid  the  en- 
thusiastic rejoicings  of  the  citizens.  New 
York  was  the  seat  of  the  National  Govern- 
ment from  1785,  when  it  was  first  formed  on 
a  substantial  basis,  to  1790.  Previous  to 
1821,  the  city,  officially,  lay  below  Houston 
street,  and,  actually,  mainly  below  Cham- 
bers street.  Ferryboats  across  the  rivers 
were  first  introduced  in  1814,  and  the  first 
regular  packet  sailed  to  Liverpool  in  1817. 

Broadway  and  Vicinity. 

Visitors  to  New  York  are  frequently  in 
doubt  as  to  "where  to  begin"  to  see  the  ob- 
jects of  interest.  Of  course,  much  depends 
upon  what  objects  are  most  interesting  to

the  visitor,  who  la  for  the  time  being  solr- 
Ing  the  problem.  One  of  the  best  starting 
points,  if  not  the  very  best,  Is  at  the  Bat- 
tery, Here  cluster  such  an  interesting  col- 
lection of  historical  reminiscences  that  no 
stranger  can  afford  to  leave  the  city  with- 
out visiting  the  scene. 

Standing  upon  the  sea  wall  of  Battery 
Park  you  can  get  a  good  view  of  several 
points  of  Interest  In  the  bay.  Off  there  to 
the  left  is  Governor's  Island,  where  Gen. 
O.  O.  Howard  makes  his  home,  and  the 
headquarters  of  th^  military  division  of 
th«  Atlantic.  Gen.  Howard's  residence 
is  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  island 
and  cannot  be  seen  from  Battery 
Park.  That  round,  ancient  and  some- 
what dilapidated  fortress  on  the  near- 
est point  of  the  island  is  "Castle  WUliam," 
which  was  built  in  1811  to  protect  the  city 
from  a  possible  attack  from  the  British  In 
the  prospective  war.  The  old  fort  was  used 
as  a  prison  for  Confederates  during  the 
Civil  War.  Furthw  toward  the  centre  of 
the  Island  is  Fort  Columbus,  shaped  like  a 
star,  and  solidly  built  of  stone. 

On  a  line  with  the  west  side  of  Gover- 
nor's Island,  and  further  down  the  bay, 
is  Bay  Ridge,  the  railroad  station  for  Coney 
Island  and  Bath  Beach.  It  is  also  a  fa- 
vorite rendezvous  for  pleasure  yachts. 
Further  still  down  the  bay  Is  the  Narrows, 
with  Fort  Hamilton  guarding  the  left  and 
Fort  Wadsworth  the  right  bank.  In  mid- 
stream stands  old  Fort  Lafayette,  famous 
as  the  abode  of  many  distinguished  citi- 
zen prisoners  during  the  war. 

Off  there  to  the  right  is  the  statu©  of 
Ldberty  Enlightening  the  World.  It  stands 
on  Bedloe's  Island,  where,  in  years  long 
passed.  Is  was  the  custom  and  recreation 
of  the  honest  citizens  of  New  York  to  hang 
pirates.  The  last  pirate  executed  In  this 
country  met  his  doom  on  Bedloe's  Island. 
Tou  can  reach  the  island  by  a  ferry  from 
the  Barge  OfBce. 

To  the  right  of  the  statue,  on  the  other 
Island,  Is  the  immigration  depot  of  the 
United  States.  It  is  situated  on  Ellis 
Island,  which  was  used  until  recently  for  a 
powder  magazine.  A  ferryboat  runs  from 
the  Barge  Office  to  Ellis  Island,  and  if 
you  have  time  the  trip  will  amply  repay

Coming  back  to  the  Battery,  the  moit 
Interesting  object  to  nearly  all  visitors  la 
Castle  Garden,  where  probably  8.000,000  im- 
migrants landed  In  this  free  country.  Cat- 
tle Garden  now  presents  the  appearance  It 
did  before  It  was  given  up  to  Immigrants. 
It  is  to  be  turned  Into  a  mammoth  aquari- 
um by  the  city.  When  built,  the  structure 
was  Intended  for  a  fortlflcatlon,  and  wa« 
named  Fort  Clinton.  The  fort  was  erected 
by  the  National  Government  In  1807.  It 
was  given  to  the  city  In  1823.  Here  were 
hold  receptions  to  Lafayette  In  1824,  Andrew 
Ti  l;son  In  1832  and  President  Tyler  In 
Later  It  became,  the  "home  of  music," 
.i:t  1  In  Its  now  dreary  walls  were  heard 
such  celebrated  singers  as  Sontag,  Parodl 
and  Jenny  Llnd.  Castle  Garden  became 
an  Immigration  depot  In  1855,  and  continued 
as  such  until  recently,  when  the  National 
Government  took  charge  of  immigration 
affairs  In  this  city. 

Around  the  Battery  almost  every  lot  has 
Its  own  Interesting  reminiscence  of  Revo- 
lutionary days.  On  the  site  of  the  Wash- 
ington Building  was  the  famous  Washing- 
ton Hotel,  where  Gen.  Washln;^ton  made 
his  headquarters  at  one  time.  The  Wash- 
ington Building  was  erected  by  the  late 
Cyrus  W.  Field,  to  whom  the  country  is 
Indebted  for  the  Atlantic  cables.  The  site 
was.  during  Revolutionary  days,  occupied 
by  the  big  residence  of  Archbald  Kennedy, 
built  In  1780.  Here,  In  turn.  Lord  Corn- 
wallls.  Lord  Howe  and  Sir  Henry  Clinton 
made  their  headquarters  before  Washington 
got  possession. 

Bowling  Green,  as  the  circle  surrounded 
by  an  iron  railing  Is  called,  has  been 
changed  less  than  almost  anything  else  in 
the  city  since  the  Revolution.  Its  dimensions 
are  the  same  and  the  Iron  fence  now  sur- 
rounding It  Is  the  historic  fence  from  which 
the  knobs  of  the  pickets  were  cut  and  used 
as  cannon  balls  to  fire  at  the  British.  The 
lead  statue  of  King  George,  which  was 
melted  Into  bullets  by  the  American  patriots 
in  1776,  stood  In  the  centre  of  Bowling 
Green. 

Opposite  Wall  street  Is  situated  Trinity 
Church.   The  Trinity  parish  Is  the  richest

In  America,  having  an  income  from  Its  real 

estate  and  other  property  of  over  $500,000 
annually.  Trinity  Church  was  founded  In 
1697.  It  was  burned  down  in  1776  and  was 
rebuilt  in  1788.  The  present  Gothic  structure 
dates  from  1846.  The  spire  is  284  feet  high. 
Trinity  is  open  to  visitors  all  day.  In  the 
cemetery  adjoining  are  buried  many  peo- 
ple famous  in  history.  ' 

Wall  street  is  the  most  famous  centre  of 
finance  in  the  world.  On  the  south 
side  of  Wall  street,  just  beyond  New  street. 
Is  one  of  the  entrances  to  the  Stock  Ex- 
change. Visitors  can  reach  the  public  gal- 
lery from  this  entrance,  or  they  can  go 
around  to  the  front  of  the  building,  on 
Broad  street,  and  ride  up  in  an^  elevator. 
From  the  galleries  a  good  view  of  the  floor 
of  the  Exchange  can  be  had.  Trading  is 
In  operation  from  10  to  3  o'clock  daily,  ex- 
cept on  Sundays  and  legal  holidays. 

On  the  corner  of  Wall  and  Nassau  stands 
the  United  States  Sub-Treasury.  It  oc- 
cupies the  site  of  the  City  Hall  of  Revolu- 
tionary days.  After  independence  was  at- 
tained the  building  was  occupied  by  the 
first  United  States  Congress.  It  was  then 
known  as  Federal  Hall.  Here  Washington 
was  Inaugurated  President,  and  a  statue  of 
him  by  J.  Q.  A.  Ward  stands  upon  the  spot 
where  he  took  the  oath  of  office.  The  pres- 
ent building  was  erected  for  a  custom 
house,  for  which  purpose  it  was  used  for 
many  years. 

Adjoining  the  Sub-Treasury  Is  the  Assay 
Office,  the  oldest  building  in  Wall  street. 
It  was  erected  for  the  United  States  branch 
bank  in  1825.  Gold  in  the  crude  state  Is 
here  cast  into  bars.  Visitors  are  admitted 
between  the  hours  of  10  a.  m.  and  2  p.  m., 
and  you  can  see  about  ?;50,000,000  in  gold 
bricks  stacked  uo.  if  you  are  curious. 

Further  down  Wall  street  is  the  Custom 
House.  It  is  on  the  south  side  of  the 
street. 

A  block  above  Wall  street,  on  Broadway, 
Is  the  Equitable  Building,  the  most  magnifi- 
cent structure  of  the  kind  in  the  country, 
if  not  In  the  world.  It  was  finished  in 
18S7,  and  cost  $8,000,000.  Ten  elevators  are 
kept  constantly  busy  transporting  the 
people  to  and  from  the  various  floors.

In  the  rear  of  the  Equitable,  on  Naasau 

■treet.  !w  the  Mutual  Life  building,  aluo  a 
noted  structure.  In  this  building  is  located 
the  Chamber  of  Commorce. 

On  the  west  side  of  Broadway,  between 
Fulton  and  Vesey  streets,  is  St.  Paul's 
Church.  When  Gen.  Waehlnfirton  came  to 
New  York  to  be  Inaugurated  President  of 
the  United  States  he  attended  service  In 
St.  Paul's,  and  the  pew  In  which  he  sat 
is  shown  to  visitors  by  the  attendants. 
The  property  is  now  owned  by  Trinity 
Church,  which  uses  it  as  a  chapel.  In  St. 
Paul's  church  yard  there  are  many  re- 
nowned people  burled  also. 

A  block  above  St.  Paul's  la  the  Post- 
offlce,  an  immense  granite  building.  The 
building  was  completed  in  1875,  at  a  cost 
of  $7,000,000.  The  New  York  Postofflce 
handles  over  800,000.000  pieces  of  mall  mat- 
ter annually,  and  yields  a  profit  of  about 
$3,000,000  a  year. 

To  the  east  of  the  Postofflce  is  "Print- 
ing House  Square,"  where  all  of  the  dally 
newspapers  are  published.  In  the  square 
proper  are  statues  of  Franklin  and  Greeley. 

North  of  the  Postofflce  is  City  Hall 
Park.  Facing  the  Postofflce  is  the  City 
Hall.  This  nne  specimen  of  Italian  archi- 
tecture was  erected  in  1803.  At  that  time 
the  city  was  all  below  that  point,  and  the 
citizens  were  so  confident  it  would  stay  be- 
low that  they  did  not  deem  It  wise  to  waste 
money  by  making  the  rear  of  white  marble. 
Red  stone  was  considered  pood  enough  for 
the  rear  of  the  building.  It  remained  red 
stone  until  the  present  city  administra- 
tion had  the  rear  painted  white,  to  corre- 
spond with  the  front  of  the  building.  In 
the  Governor's  room  are  the  desk  and 
chair  used  by  President  Washington. 

North  of  the  City  Hall  stands  the  County 
Court  House,  also  of  white  marble.  This  is 
the  famous  "Tweed  Court  House,"  and  It 
was  mainly  In  consequence  of  frauds  In 
connection  with  the  work  on  the  build- 
ing that  the  Tweed  ring  came  to  grief. 
The  Court  House  was  built  in  1869-'70.  The 
exact  cost  to  the  taxpayers  is  not  known, 
but  Is  supposed  to  be  In  the  neighborhood 
of  120,000.000.

The  bro'vm  building  beside  the  Court 
House  is  the  Criminal  Court,  or  Court  of 
General  Sessions,  where  important  criminal 
cases  are  tried. 

The  ffloomy  gray  building  east  of  the 
City  Hall  is  the  Register's  Office.  It  is  a 
Revolutionary  relic,  having  been  used  by 
the  British  as  a  Provost  prison.  Many 
Illustrious  New  Yorkers  were  Imprisoned 
there. 

Across  Park  row  is  the  New  York  ter- 
minus of  the  Brooklyn  Bridge.  The  bridge 
is  5,989  feet  long,  the  main  span  over  the 
water  being  1,595  feet  long.  The  towers  rise 
276  feet  above  high  water.  The  bridge  was 
opened  to  the  public  May  24,  1883,  and  cost 
$15,000,000.  The  promenade  is  free,  but  2 
cents  fare  each  way  is  charged  on  the  cars. 

From  the  centre  of  the  street  In  front  of 
the  bridge  entrance  a  glimpse  of  the  Tombs 
down  Centra  street  ca,n  be  had.  A  Fourth 
avenue  car  will  take  you  there  is  about  flva 
minutes.  The  official  name  of  the  Tombs  ia 
"City  Prison."  In  it  are  confined  alleged 
criminals  who  are  awaiting  trial  and  ar« 
not  out  on  ball.  Before  the  electrical  exe- 
cution law  went  Into  effect  all  condemned 
murderers  sentenced  to  death  by  the  New 
York  courts  were  executed  in  the  Tombs. 
A  century  ago  Fresh  "Water  Pond  occupied 
the  site  of  the  Tombs.  The  building  ia  of 
the  Egyptian  style  of  architecture  and  is 
considered  the  best  specimen  of  that  school 
in  this  country.   It  was  erected  In  1888. 

Across  Fi'anklin  street  from  the  Tomba 
the  new  Criminal  Court  Building  is  being 
erected.  It  will  accommodate  not  only  the 
criminal  courts,  but  also  the  District-Attor- 
ney and  other  officials  of  the  court. 

On  the  corner  of  Leonard  street  Is  the 
New  York  Life  Insurance  Building. 

Canal  i  treet  takes  the  place  of  the  old 
canal,  which  in  its  day  was  first  famous  as 
a  business  centre  and  later  aus  a  vice  centre. 

Fourth  street,  if  followed  west  from 
Broadway  three  blocks,  will  bring  you  to 
Washington  square.  This,  a  rery  few 
years  ago,  was  the  fashionable  residence 
centre  of  the  city.  Some  of  the  old  New 
York  families  still  cling  to  their  old  homea 
In  the  \icinity  of  the  square.  The  newly 
erected  Centennial  Arch     atands  at  the

Fifth  avenue  entrance  to  the  square,  and 
In  the  centre  there  la  a  statue  oif  Gari- 
baldi, the  Italian  patriot.  The  statue  waa 
erected  by  the  countrymen  of  Garibaldi  who 
live  in  this  city. 

RetuminK  onc«  more  to  Broadway,  the 
next  Important  object  of  interest  is  Astor 
place,  where  the  famous  riots  between  the 
admirers  of  Edwin  Forrf  st,  the  American, 
and  Macready,  the  English  tragedian,  oc- 
curred during  the  past  generation.  A  block 
east  of  Broadway  is  Lafayette  Place,  on 
which  is  situated  the  Astor  Library.  The 
Episcopal  See  House  Is  located  on  the  west 
Bide  of  Lafayette  place. 

A  block  east  of  Lafayette  place  is  Cooper 
Union.    This  :  nt  gift  to  the  poor 

from  the   lai  ooper  occupies  the 

square  bound<  i  i  uarth  and  Third  ave- 
nues, and  Seventh  and  Eighth  streets. 
Astor  place  Is  absorbed  by  Eighth  street. 
The  basement  of  the  building  is  occupied 
by  a  very  large  hall,  used  for  public  meet- 
ings. The  first  story  is  rented  for  business 
purposes,  and  there  are  some  offices  rented 
on  the  second  floor.  From  the  rentals, 
combined  with  the  provision  made  by  Mr. 
Cooper,  the  extensive  library  and  the  free 
mechanical  schools  of  the  institution  are 
supported. 

On  the  north  side  of  Eighth  street,  oc- 
cupying an  entire  block,  is  the  Bible  House. 
At  the  intersection  of  Astor  place  and 
Elqhth  street  is  the  Mercantile  Library. 
In  front  of  the  Mercantile  Building  is  the 
statue  of  the  late  S.  S.  Cox,  erected  by  the 
New  York  postmen  as  a  recognition  of  his 
services  in  their  behalf. 

Union  square  begins  at  14th  street  and 
ends  at  17th.  reaching  from  Broadway  to 
Fourth  avenue.  East  of  the  square,  and 
near  14th  street,  stands  the  heroic  eques- 
trian statue  of  Washington.  In  the  south- 
ern extremity  of  the  square  proper  is  the 
statue  of  Lafayette.  The  heroic  statue 
of  Lincoln  stands  west  of  the  square,  on

Some  Men  Think 

That  well-fitting,  good  looking  and  wearable  suits 
cannot  be  obtained  ready-made.  This  is  because 
they  have  been  deceived  by  some  clothier.  The 
same  reasoning  could  be  applied  to  lots  of  cases.  For 
example,  if  a  counterfeiter  passed  a  bad  dollar  on  you 
would  you  thereafter  refuse  to  receive  silver  dollars  ? 

Come  and  look  at  our  Men  s  and  Youths'  Fall 
Suits.  We  have  the  largest  selection  in  Brooklyn, 
and  can  show  all  the  latest  and  best  styles  and  pat- 
terns. The  best  tailors  make  them,  and  you  can  have

it's  quite  safe  to  use,  and  if 
washing  and  cleaning  is  any 
easier  with  it.  Ask  her  how  the 
clothes  look  and  last,  when 
they're  not  rubbed  over  the 
washboard.  Ask  her  how  it 
would  seem  to  go  back  to  that 
eternal  rub,  rub,  rub,  now  that 
she  has  got  rid  of  it.  If  she  has 
used  Pearline  faithfully,  and 
just  as  directed  on  every  pack- 
age, she'll  probably  have  one 
question  to  ask  you  :  "  How 
in  the  world  do  you  manage 
to  get  along  without  it." 

Beware  of  imitations.  357  JAMES  FYLB,  N.  7*
